A brand-new patch for Hogwarts Legacy has been released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, focusing on improving gameplay, performance, and overall stability.

　　Some of the main issues the new update has improved are the online connection problem players have been experiencing with registration and tracking and some bugs relating to DLC. Two main problems were highlighted by the developer, such as a bug that would cause issues during the pause and gear menu, as well as a problem where the flying mount would disappear from a player's inventory during a mission. Both of these DLC bugs have been fixed.
